i’m not sensitive about the WORD burn, i’m a glassblower man.
it is not the word burn and if you think you would see that point pretty fine, i guess…

imagine you go to germany and people would write at you
american burn
what woould you think if you do not know they just use words different thn the meaning is?

Anyway, I like to read Highlights when I am at the dentist’s office.

it is not about calling names, but i see, you just want to see the one point.
that is fine and it shows how the world is running.
people all time missuse words and than they blame the others as being stupid.
yes, i see, it makes sense…
if people just would understand that words are words, and this words have grown as they are for million of years…and than..bang… people just start c hanging the meaning and think the whole world have to understand that…

i think i made it clear enough that i understand now and that i appologized somewhat for not getting the sense.
if you need to be thickheaded, well, but see how you are just about an tiny little misunderstanding?

that is the way how the most evil happen…people just knock hard and harder…no forgiving for stupid people… it is fine.
i see, i may just never come back in here and let it be as what it is… a place w here words can be missused and there will not be a forgiving for missunderstanding…

have a great time and hopefully never go to places where people tend to use words propper and try not to use nations or race words in jokes

all the best and bye

I would say: I don’t get it, please explain.  Then I would accuse them of anti-Americanism.

Also, being an American, I would probably bomb them.

well, but they are only in german..you know?!

for news and informations.

I’m pretty sure google gives me translation options for most sites. Sites like spiegel actual offer multiple language options, i believe.

but you may have no time for this… almost 3000 postings in 3 month… no clue how this can be done

Oh, you can do it too, little firetruck.  I’d say half of it is merely online banter. Board Harder. Its not that hard :-)

Also, december to the end of march is 4 months. Just to clarify.

i took it as a compliment.

Heres a hint. Board Harder. Not Smarder. And watch your post-count rise like viagra.

Je-zus. Calm down, ma’am. He made a joke. You didnt get it. You are on an enlgish speaking forum, for chrissakes. Why assume the joke was racist? Why not just as for an explanation, since you obviously are a bit, er, unfamiliar with some of the subtle nuances of the language?

Often times, on here, and in real life, a good insult is referred to as a “burn”. A really good burn can be called an “ice Burn”. Bre-bro thought you were kapping on me for my gloriously high post count, and since you would seem to be German, he called it a deutch burn. Ha ha.

Thank god you havent read this thread. It’d probably confuse the saurkraut outta ya.

Damn straight.

Back to the lecture at hand…

Wired and Paste are the only two magazines coming to my house. I doubt I will renew either of them, seeing as I never have time to read Wired and Paste started putting their MP3 sampler online instead of including a CD.

With RSS, who needs magazines?

Anyone out there have some Sun back-issues?

there is an article i recall that I have been searching for for a while. Cant find it on their website. It was some preacher/reverand/church guy talking about Afghanistan Opium, the Taliban, Vietnam, and the war on terror.

Anyone know what/who i’m talking about?

Will anyone admit to being the sock puppet of the glass blowing black german?

none.

But for some reason I’ve started receiving ‘Wired’.

It goes straight to the composting toilet building and seems to get read, so I guess it’s cool.

I read magazines only in office waiting rooms less than 6 times a year. I against using paper to print magazines, newspapers, phony college diplomas, marriage licenses, and most books. You may think me to speak in jest but, I am reading U S Grant’s Memoires on line. Very interesting idea, you can even control the size of the print.  Try that with the new News Week.  I don’t think this weekly rag is going to appeal much to people over thirty with eye problems.

I know her in real life, actually.
